A teacher lives in this God’s ocean of life

passionately inspires every soul to rise

even in sorrow’s darkness

possessing a soul of tranquil brightness

thereby reflecting always warmly

A love from within.......

Shining like a bright star

inspiring everyone to rise far

from their mundane existence

thereby reflecting always warmly

A love from within.....

your love is felt by us

like a soft breeze touching

gently a sleeping child

thereby reflecting always warmly

A love from within......

Within you we’re seen the reflection

of a teacher, friend and mother

My special attachment to you

can’t really be expressed in words

Because I’ve felt it from within

an I thank you and pray to god to

bless you with an ever-lasting happiness

thereby reflecting always warmly

A love from within....

Why do we have to go to school,

Why can’t we play the fool,

Maths drives me crazy,

After all, I am born lazy.

Geography is for farmers,

future writer’s mind it hampers.

history is about the dead,

Why can’t we forget it and plan ahead

Sanskrit makes me sad,

The marks I obtain are really bad

English is the best,

Why can’t we forget the rest.

Why do we have to go to school

Why can’t we play the fool?
